Discuss your backend project
Our backend development services
Go Wombat builds backend systems from scratch and extends existing ones. Our backend developers can work with your current front end or take on the whole development process.
Web application backend development
We build web application backends with performance and security in mind, so your team can use the software safely from anywhere.
Mobile application backend development
Mobile apps need a backend that handles APIs, data sync and notifications reliably. We build backends for mobile applications, so your app has a solid foundation.
API development and implementation
Extend your current software or connect it to third-party services with a custom API built for performance and stability.
Cloud setup and migration
We set up cloud infrastructure for heavy loads, scaling and big data processing, and migrate existing systems to the cloud.
Backend auditing and restructuring
Our backend audits find bottlenecks; we then restructure the architecture and refactor the code. We can overhaul your infrastructure while keeping the front end intact.
IoT backend development
Backends that collect signals from sensors on devices or industrial equipment, manage your IoT fleet, analyse the incoming data and connect it to your business workflows.

Our backend development process
With more than 10 years of backend development experience, we take projects through every stage of the software development life cycle, from the Discovery Phase to ongoing support and maintenance. It starts with a consultation.
Partnering with our backend development company
Whether you work in logistics, manufacturing, marketing or another industry, you need a partner who understands your business and can build the backend it depends on. For more than 10 years, Go Wombat has built backend solutions and complete software platforms for clients in many industries. Here is how we can work with you.
Outsourced backend development
Outsource as much or as little of your backend development as you need, and add developers as the project grows while keeping control of budget and timeline.

Benefits of our back-end development services
Software works properly only if the logic and architecture on the back end are right. We design them around your requirements and cover integration and support.
We work closely with frontend developers, build custom APIs and load-test the system so it performs well under real traffic.
Backend technologies we use
Our main backend stack:
Python is Go Wombat's main backend language. We use it to build complex software, including AI features, and it lets us implement quickly and integrate with many web services.
One of the most popular Python frameworks, with built-in security features and an admin panel. It is our go-to framework for mobile app backends.
A Python framework for high-performance APIs, which we use to build and scale APIs quickly.
PostgreSQL
mongoDB
Redis

Backend development FAQs
Backend development covers everything the user cannot see on a website or app: the servers, databases, APIs, architecture and business logic that make it work correctly.
There is no single best language, but Python is our choice for most backend work because of its versatility and scalability. Other widely used backend languages include Java, Ruby and PHP.
The backend is crucial for an application’s success because it:
Handles the business logic, ensuring the user gets the desired result.
Facilitates data exchange.
Ensures performance and speed.
Makes the front end possible, by connecting the data to the design.
We can break down backend development into the following parts:
Libraries and frameworks (the building blocks of server-side code)
Web servers (to handle requests and responses)
Server-side web application logic (controlling web applications on the backend)
Databases
APIs (allowing various pieces of software to communicate with each other)
Security
Each project’s requirements and the technology being used dictates the specifics of backend development, but here are some common examples of what is done on this side:
Configuration and deployment of the application on servers and cloud platforms
Processing of user requests and implementation of business rules
Database query optimisation and data caching
Management of databases to ensure data integrity and security
Integration of third-party APIs, social media platforms, and payment gateways
Implementation of authentication, authorisation, and encryption for security
